Intimidation Clothing closed out March with one of the busiest months in company history, sponsoring multiple events and fighters in different states. The month began as strongly as any month in company history, with two top-tier MMA promotions – Driven MMA & Colosseum Combat – kicking off the month in style, and ended with Pinnacle FC capping off a great month and with a KO of the Year candidate from Luis “Sapo” Santos at XFCi 3 in Brazil.

Intimidation was a sponsor for the PinnacleFC 6 event in Pittsburgh, along with co-main event winner Rob Hanna (4-0) and amateur main event winner Jerrell Hodge (11-1). Hanna survived an early onslaught from Intimidation alum Joey Holt (3-2) to eventually produce one of the biggest comebacks in recent MMA history after nearly being knocked out. Hodge (pictured, right) closed out his amateur career with yet another title to go along with his two NAAFS titles and EFP title, as he claimed the PinnacleFC featherweight title with a dominant three-round performance over Rich Cantolina (10-7).

While Intimidation was represented in Pittsburgh by Out of the Cage Clothing, the newest Intimidation dealer in the Steel City, Intimidation Clothing’s Michigan Distributor were also on hand in Jackson, Michigan for the Prison City Fight League. The all-amateur event featured 25 ammy fights including 5 belt fights and 3 contender fights with an impressive night of sales for the crew that is making waves for the Intimidation brand in the state of Michigan.

Meanwhile, with the focus in the USA for Intimidation being in Michigan and Pennsylvania, the International focus was on the fast-rising XFCi promotion. An affiliate of the Intimidation-sponsored Florida promotion televised regularly on AXS TV, the XFC continued it’s recent success in Brazil with one of their most high-profile fighters, Luis “Sapo” Santos (pictured, left), in the night’s main event. Santos, a Bellator MMA vet and multi-time XFC vet as well, scored his 60th career professional win to improve to 60-9-1 with a front kick KO in the 3rd round of the night’s main event that is an early candidate for KO of the Year.

The upcoming weekend will be a busy one for the Intimidation Indiana crew, as they will first be on hand at Hardrock MMA 64 on Friday night in Kentucky and then POP!CON MMA in Evansville, Indiana on Saturday night. Meanwhile, Shad will have the Intimidation Michigan Distributors on the road again selling and supporting Local MMA in Michigan.
